Dungeon crawler Mind Zero announced for PS Vita

Mind Zero will put you in the middle of high school — and the center of the government's radar.

Today publisher Aksys Games announcedMind Zero, a dungeon-crawling role-playing game for PlayStation Vita. It's due this spring as both a digital and retail release for the handheld.

Players control Kei, a high school student who forms a contract with a powerful sentient weapon known as "Mind." As he tries to learn more about Mind's secrets, Kei and his friends find themselves the target of government pursuit. Dungeons hold a "treacherous maze of monsters" — and possible answers — as you investigate your mysterious new powers.

Aksys didn't mention a specific launch date, only that Mind Zero is coming this "spring" for $40. The title released in Japan this past August.
